Hardworking, Efficient, and Productive Tutor

Strategic and fun
I'm a young student who enjoys teaching. It's the responsibility of the teacher, to cause the subject to come alive for each student, and that is what I love to do. Only through that, can the student fully grasp what the teacher is offering to them. Both the teacher and student or students can greatly benefit from each other, when things are done in the right fashion. The teacher perfects his or her skills and the student also gains whatever it is that he or she wants to learn.

Composition is one of my top subjects! Writing, along with art, is my strongest skill. I know how to write the perfect paper. It is a simple formula, and a clever approach.

While I was a Rotary Exchange Student – South Africa | 1999-2000, I volunteered to tutor students of various ages every subject, except Afrikaans, and was very pleased with their progress, and enjoyed it. I excel in the Arts (Creative, and Graphic), English, Statistics, French, Social Studies, Reading/Writing (especially essay) and would be best for college prep (Highschool ages grades 9-12), as well as Creative Arts for all ages. Please see my profile for everything I feel confident to be at expert level of. I am confident I could dramatically improve any student's writing skills as well as their art abilities.
I adjust to the learner and speak their language, establish rapport through mutual respect, and try and make it as fun as possible.

Every Moment Can Be a Teachable Moment

This fall, I begin my twentieth year as a teacher. I'm still teaching because I'm still curious myself about the world around us, and sharing that passion, curiosity, and drive to know is part of my classroom every day.

Math, Accounting tutor, Algebra, Geometry,Trig

Laid back but serious as student learning subject matter is the most important factor in yuoring.
Have tutored for five years with Wyzant, Tutoring Center of Herndon and on my own. My main concern is too make sure student is confortable in his/her understanding the subject material. The money part of the education of young people is really not a priority per se unless the individual student gets an understanding and hopefully confidence in taking on the subject at hand I tutor mainly in Math (Algebra, Geometry and Trig, but also Accounting,social studies, Finance, English , Reading Comp, Vocabulary

"Je suis un client de la langue française"

As it relates to French Language skills, I completed 4 years of French in high school and 2 years (thus far) at Stony Brook University- currently taking 400-level courses in French Literature. In my Fall Semester of 2013, I attended the Universite de la Sorbonne (IV) as a Stofy Abroad semester, wherein I recieved my Certificate of Completion, passing High-Intermediate French Language courses, including Grammar, Phonetics, 17th and 18th Century French Literature, and Art History.
I believe in incorporating multiple methods of teaching language, and with such a complex topic as learning a second, or even third language I also believe in tailoring said methods to the student's specific needs. For example, if one finds a kindred with music, introducing them to french songs would be one of the stronger ways to accomplish fluency and language recognition. Depending on the student's age, ... read more

Recent graduate focused in English and Lit.

I am 23 year old recent graduate from George Mason University. I have a major in English Literature with a concentration in Creative Writing, and a minor in Secondary Education. During my Senior year I taught full time at Edgar Allen Poe Middle School as one of two teachers in an English classroom. I have tutored elementary students in reading and writing during a nanny job. I attended Langley High School, and performed strongly in all of my English coursework.
I believe in allowing the student to work most of the problems out for themselves. While explaining the rules of a particular word problem or paper topic is important, the student will only learn if he or she is able to come to the right conclusion through dedicating the time and effort into the project that they are working on. I also believe that every student is capable of creating something unique to his or her own style ... read more

My comments on tutoring Composition : With a 50 year background in the administrative field, I am a super expert in tutoring/teaching English Composition.

I have over of 30 years of progressive experience in tutoring young children in the elementary years of education in all subject matter areas. My specialty is literacy and reading, but I am also adept in teaching all of the math curricula as well. I also firmly believe that teaching organizational skills and proper research methodologies are very important for the classroom today--and every child needs these skills in order to excel in the classroom and survive. I am also a qualified art teacher in the NOVA area.
I believe in tutoring so that the child receives feedback and fully understands his/her own limitations and how to overcome obstacles in class. Many children lack positivity in the methodology! I also believe that using art instruction helps children to learn in a more creative manner.
